Justice Sotomayor read her dissent from the bench. It reads in part: "Today, this Court undoes centuries of political practice and concludes that all three branches of Government have been acting in open defiance of the Constitution all this time. Its conclusion is wrong."

This is so utterly fucking stupid. Basically we have a monarchy except when the king tries to fuck with the money, then the bankers get to say no. Unprincipled garbage by a bunch of robed imbeciles

We have Slaughter and Cook. By a 6–3 vote, SCOTUS overturns Humphrey's Executor and lets Trump fire heads of independent agencies. But by a 5–4 vote, it refuses to let him fire Lisa Cook from the Federal Reserve. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p... www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

The notion that the president has absolute power over creations of Congress is already nuts, with no basis in law, but it reaches utterly absurd when it includes an unwritten "but not when some Supreme Court Justices feel like he's messing with the money" exception.

it's just absolutely baffling from a Con Law perspective: there's an originalist case against the president having all these powers!

The three branches of the United States government, as delineated in the Constitution, are the God Emperor, The High Council of the Six Ayatollahs, and the Federal Reserve

Unitary Executive thread: SCOTUS decided Slaughter & Cook. 6-3 for Trump, overturning Humphrey's. 5-4 for Cook & Fed independence. All 6 conservatives confirmed they do not understand or care about historical evidence or originalist methods. 1/ www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

Opinions at 10am.

Tricky questions to decide, such as: "Does the text, purpose, and +150 years of consistent public and legal interpretation of the Constitution matter at all, or can a demented corrupt racist pedo declare otherwise?"

There’s a reason nobody is at the 50 state fair in DC, and a reason it’s worth pointing out. Trump took over America 250, a bipartisan org that’s been around a few years planning these events, and turned this into a celebration of himself. I mean, in an opening speech they said “libtards”

Easy peasy. Just turn the machine upside down

I know the list is endless but I genuinely think trashing the legitimate congressionally chartered org for celebrating the 250th to instead hijack our national assets and taxpayer funds for his personality cult grifter crap should, in and of itself, be fully sufficient to merit removal from office.

A similar dynamic could in no way be taking place in all the various places in which Grok and Open AI are being shoved into the USG, right? Right?

Enshittification Vol 1, Chapter 1, page 1.

Has everybody adopting AI forgotten about pilot programs? You know, give something a spin on a small scale before hanging your company’s entire fate on some overhyped tech or process? Or were they so worried that failing to adopt AI immediately would lead to their failure because AI go brrrrtt?

Peter Doocy claims "people are still coming out" to Trump's 250th fair -- even as the camera shot shows clearly behind him that almost nobody is there 😆

Yet another thing he took from us!

This story on the Trump and Lutnick corrupt interest in a Tungsten deal is breathtaking on its face. But as you read it, remember urgency behind the deal was Trump's illegal tariffs. Then note that deal won't actually PRODUCE any tungsten, if it does, until 2030. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/28/w...

This is really stupid, but the president has repeatedly claimed that Iran’s military capabilities were totally destroyed, so I feel obligated to rhetorically ask what the US is shooting at and retaliating to if Iran has no military anymore? Why does anyone indulges such transparent lies at all?

🚨BREAKING: Federal court REJECTS Department of Justice lawsuit to gain access to Pennsylvania voter records. Another victory for Elias Law Group and its clients. Another defeat for DOJ. DOJ is now 0-10. 👀 ELG remains undefeated! 🗳️⚖️💪 www.democracydocket.com/cases/pennsy...

Jesus. 68,900 reported missing in Venezuela.

THIS 👇 ONE HERE TOO.......

Funny how that works.

Does Dan Patrick actually have the required reading level to understand the Constitution?

This is how the Reflecting Pool has been used.

“I don’t think that’s how passports work” is something a supplicant staffer might have thought for a brief moment. But never once did they gather sufficient courage to correct the President.

DC now stands for Dystopian Circus. Right out of a movie.

Loitering is literally what one does on the mall and around the monuments. It’s a place where people pause and reflect (hence the double entendres pool) on what our nation has been, is, and can be. The dystopian use of the NG is a stain on our democracy.

Former NOAA staffers have launched a new website that provides climate information. It replaces a government site that was shut down when the Trump administration took office. n.pr/4aWVKvt

I live in the Little Haiti neighborhood in Brooklyn and every single one of my Haitian immigrant neighbors has done more work in the last week than Megyn Kelly has in the last decade, and as far as values are concerned, being a racist nihilist like she is isn't something to aspire to.

Jesus Christ. Run your own fucking campaign how you want. But don't go out of your way to give Republicans ammo against Democrats running in other districts. Such stupid assholes.

If you see this, post an archer.

Cool, cool. Totally losing sight of what’s critical is exactly what the moment calls for.

Meanwhile, here’s how Ohio’s governor, a Republican, responded to today’s decision.

Asking the way he teams up with the Toxic Burnpit Avenger. Chaos ensues.

Arguing with family and friends in Israel these days is just absolutely grim. They live behind an iron curtain of information. I don't know if this is fixable.

This is not how one leads into the future. Really worried about China overtaking America? This all but guarantees it in time. Turning America into a Cybertron of AI data centers won’t make up for it either. www.instagram.com/reel/DZ_KTN5...

They’re going to end up putting each vaccine requirement back into place. Unfortunately it’s going to take a major outbreak of each disease to get them to go that. This is what happens when ideology wins over science. People get needlessly harmed. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

Waste, fraud, abuse. Our tax dollars.

Hey, Dems, ignore the old fogies and encrusted consultants and use your eyes and a bit of intestinal fortitude. You’ll be set.

Imo it’s not just socialism vs. capitalism, it’s socialism vs. oligarchy. Wealth inequality has become so extreme that policies like universal healthcare, higher wages, progressive taxation, and affordable housing are necessary for most people’s survival

Time and space, what are they?

lol anyway think of this less as a coordinated purge and more pete and dort and company trying to frantically rip out all the woke wiring in the cathedral pentagon à la elon

52 months of my 3 day war. We've gone from 3 days to Kiev to 3 days queuing for petrol. I remain a master strategist.

Let’s check in to see how things are going in the meritocracy. Ah, yes. The guy deemed by just about everyone to be our best is now being forced into retirement. Of course. www.theatlantic.com/national-sec...
